Oh really?
% touch \/path
% ls -l \/path
-rw-r--r-- 1 luser luser 0 Mar 3 17:55 /path
% pwd
/home/luser
% ls -l /path
ls: /path: No such file or directory
If your machine *really* does that, not only do you have very
different filesystem behaviour from every other Unix system I've seen,
but also a very unusual shell, since it's not expanding \/ to /. Try
"echo ls -l \/path" and "echo ls -l /path" -- do they give different
output for you?
